Journal: Journal of Oral Microbiology
Microenvironments in oral biofilms are increasingly recognized as key determinants of microbial behavior, resilience, and pathogenicity. Rather than being homogeneous layers of bacteria, dental biofilms are highly structured, spatially organized communities in which steep gradients of pH, oxygen, redox potential, nutrients, and signaling molecules develop over micrometer distances. These localized conditions shape m…

The oral microbiome is a highly dynamic microbial ecosystem that continuously evolves throughout human life. From birth, microbial communities undergo succession influenced by host development, environmental exposures, diet, oral hygiene, systemic health, medications, and aging. Recent advances in sequencing technologies, multi-omics approaches, and computational biology have substantially expanded our understanding…

The oral cavity is a complex ecological and immunological environment in which viruses interact with host tissues, resident microbial communities, and mucosal immune defenses. Although oral health research has traditionally focused on bacterial pathogens and biofilm-associated dysbiosis, increasing evidence highlights the potential contributions of viruses to oral homeostasis and disease. The oral virome encompasses…

Already in 1894, Willoughby Miller first observed that not all bacteria from infected root canals, as seen under the microscope in Robert Koch's laboratory at the Charité, could be cultured on agar plates. Since then, our knowledge on the genetic diversity of the oral microbiome has exploded with the development of PCR, cloning techniques, fluorescent in situ hybridization, and, most importantly, high-throughput seq…
